1425: Arsenal are possibly fortunate to win a free-kick when Nicky Butt is adjudged to have fouled Patrick Vieira about 33 yards out. Thierry Henry then curls the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of Tim Howard's goal - it is a well-taken strike but from so far out, questions must be asked about the United wall and Howard's positioning.Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal

1420: Mikael Silvestre plays a Beckhamesque crossfield pass to find Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but the Norwegian cannot control the ball and has to settle for a corner.

1417: After the frenetic opening, the match has settled into a more sedate rhythm - probably a good thing for the players as with much of the pitch bathed in sunshine, it is likely to be a long and hot afternoon.
